Internet troll fired

An internet troll has been fired from his job as a programmer for a US financial services company after he was outted as the creator of an online forum where users shared sexualised images of underage girls.

According to AP Michael Brutsch, 49, has been posting under the name Violentacrez for years and now has received dozens of death threats since his identity was revealed last week in the New York-based blog Gawker. Oddly the US press seems more interested in his career as a troll rather than the fact he was running the Jailbait kiddie porn forum, which is probably what resulted in his sacking.

Brutsch has not slopped off after his sacking. He posted on Reddit that "Everything that happens is a test from God, and how you respond to that test determines whether you pass or fail." Only in the US does a bloke who terrorised people on online forums and ran a kiddie porn site on the side get the chance to say that God is only testing them to see if they will become a better person. We wonder who God was testing when he created or moderated Reddit forums called Chokeabitch, Niggerjailbait, Rapebait, Hitler, Jewmerica, Misogyny and Incest. His best effort appears to have been an entire forum dedicated to pictures of dead teenage girls called Picsofdeadjailbait.

Brutsch must have been inspired by God when he became the main moderator for Creepshot, a forum of stalking-style pictures of women taken without their permission. Brutsch is unrepentant said he would stand by exactly what he has done, which is a clever trick which must involve some sort of mirror. He said that he has always been upfront about the sorts of things that he finds attractive.

The only downside with being outted is that it could have an impact on his employment and on his wife, who was disabled, he said. Brutsch said he had warned his boss about the impending article last week and was fired soon after.
